FIRM SPOTLIGHT
SEBRIS BUSTO JAMES
BELLEVUE, WASH.
Founded in 1992 by Bob Sebris and Mark Busto, this small
firm boasts extremely experienced attorneys dedicated to
tackling legal issues in the workplace—everything from advice
to transactions to policies to litigation. Jim Mitchell, general
counsel of Slalom LLC, praises the firm and lawyer Jeff
James. “[James] is often involved whenever we have issues
that come up that require input as to employment planning
and practices and policies of the company,” he says. “And
when we have employment-related claims and litigation, he’s
also the lawyer we go to.” Mitchell has known and worked
with James for almost 15 years. “We trust him implicitly with
knowledge of our company and our historical practices,”
Mitchell says. “He’s a great lawyer who tactically [makes]
great recommendations and keeps us on the right path.”
WALTER F. KELLY
MILWAUKEE, WIS.
Walter F. Kelly has been practicing employment, civil rights
and liberties law since 1980. Much of his practice consists
of employment disputes that might involve matters like
discrimination, harassment and whistleblowing. Paul
J. Kardish, general counsel at Schneider National Inc.,
a transportation and logistics company in Green Bay,
has worked with Kelly since 2012. “I’ve found him to be
an exceptionally bright and strategic litigation [and]
employment attorney,” Kardish says. He praises Kelly for
being quick-thinking and a “good person.” “It’s one thing
to be an exceptional attorney, but Walt is an exceptional
individual as well.”
